3D TV Area

Sony’s super successful PS3 finds favor with a large community across the globe that uses the device as a movie streaming device apart from a gaming console. The PS3 has had an eventful 2010. The mid year release of the 3D gaming facility for the PS3 took pleasure to a new level for the gaming community. It is an exhilarating experience to be part of a 3D gaming environment and witnessing the action unfurl with life like clarity in one’s home.

Sony announced the availability of The Fight: Lights Out in stereoscopic 3D, which was highly indicative of the fact that there was a lot more cooking in the high tech Sony labs. The rumors regarding the imminent launch of a 3D movie playback firmware for PS3 kept the electronics market on its feet. The buzz peaked in October with the launch of the much awaited firmware update 3.50 that enhanced the capability cache of the PS3 by endowing it with ability to play movies in 3D. Apart from this amazing enhancement, the firmware also improves the gaming artillery of the PS3. The firmware allows developers to create the future 3D games with a touch of ‘Facebook.’ These games would let you use Facebook as a vault of information regarding your gaming. You would be able to integrate the gaming with your Facebook account by choosing to access entries such as profiles and friends right from Facebook. Another additional facility for the users of the updated PS3 is that they can report any inappropriate comments from some eccentric gamer on the network straightaway. Go through the options menu from the friend list and you’ll find the feature. Getting back to the 3D movie playback, you would need a 3D TV apart from the firmware update to your PS3. A normal television would not solve the purpose even if your PS3 is updated with the 3.50 firmware update. However, if you possess a good 3D enabled television set and are contemplating buying a new 3D Blu Ray disk player, you might as well go for the PS3 instead of just a simple DVD player. The updated PS3 is equivalent to the dedicated DVD player you would have to buy anyways. But the gaming possibilities opened up by the PS3 are something that should make its case much stronger, even if it means that you would have to dig slightly deeper into your pockets.

If 3D is your priority, the 3D games are all set to capture your imagination. 3D games market is all set to boom in the coming years and it is quite probable that you would need to invest in the PS3 at some time. Doing it right now would be smarter and worth the efforts. A mere demo of games like MotorStorm Pacific Rift and Wipeout HD are sufficient to overwhelm you. Production houses are al set to launch Blu Ray 3D movie disks in the coming months. Thus, it seems that Sony has got its timing right as far as the 3D movie playback firmware update launch goes.
